safety?


What makes a safety match safe?

  1. It has to be struck on the special strip on the box rather than anything rough in the environment. At least that is my guess. Old movies have people striking matches on their boots. A modern match will not light that way, and so my guess is they are probably safe because they cannot light so easily unintended.
